[Samba] Mounting a Samba Share in /etc/fstab
Hey all, As most of you know, I've been having problems (hopefully solved by now, won't know until friend is able to reshare his box) with SAMBA over the internet. On my local area network, I am using SAMBA for a one way connection just fine. my question is as follows. Can I make an fstab entry so I can mount the XP share whenever I boot? The reason I ask is because currently Wine can't properly detect the c:\windows dir on the XP box and I'd like to be able to use some of the program (e.g. games) on my Linux box. -- Joseph A Nagy Jr Purgatory is where Windows users go when they Founder and CEO die so they can figure out Linux and ascend into Joseph A Nagy Jr Enterprises whatever higher plane one belives in. http://jan-jr-ent.homelinux.org Linux - The Choice of Every Generation C.S.S.: Construct Skilled in Sabotage H.T.M.L.: Hazardous Troubleshooting and Mathematics Lifeform http://www.brunching.com/cgi/cyborger.cgi?acronym=Linux -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Why can't you just put the smbmount command in your startup scripts? It would go nicely in your samba startup script, for example, although I do not believe you need to be running smbd to use smbmount. You could also put it into your network startup script.

Here is an excerpt from a reply to a prior post of mine.

Joel snip Because wine looks at fstab for mounted filesystems (I think), and just having it mounted via mount -t smbfs username=someuser,password=somepass //computer/share /mount/ doesn't seem to do any good. -- Joseph A Nagy Jr Purgatory is where Windows users go when they Founder and CEO die so they can figure out Linux and ascend into Joseph A Nagy Jr Enterprises whatever higher plane one belives in. http://jan-jr-ent.homelinux.org Linux - The Choice of Every Generation C.S.S.: Construct Skilled in Sabotage H.T.M.L.: Hazardous Troubleshooting and Mathematics Lifeform http://www.brunching.com/cgi/cyborger.cgi?acronym=Linux -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
